It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this site, Guild Wars Guru, will be shutting down on July 1st and will remain in Archive Mode. Over the past 11 years, we've become, and continued to remain, the #1 fansite for Guild Wars, and it's all because to you guys. Without such a strong and passionate community, Guru would have never made it this far and so we thank you for that.

And while we will be saying good-bye to our home here, we will continue to host forums for the GW community over at our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Guru. In fact, you are more than welcome to head on over now and begin posting. If you have any threads you'd like to transfer over, now would be the time.

So once again thank you, and especially those that contributed their time and knowledge to make Guru the amazing place it was. We'll see you over at Guild Wars 2 Guru!

What exactly is the floating castle? It can be viewed from Stingray Strand near Fishermen's Haven. Its chained to the ground so it wont float away or something. What is it, who occupies it, who built it, and is it some outpost i dont know about?

Factions has some good scenery anyways. Silent Surf and Maishang Hills have to be my 2 favorite areas in Factions. Around the NW part of Hills, everything is so dark and calm. I love it. Surf is so open and cool.

On topic: Yeah, that's a tower that Verata and some friends of his were doing experiments in. It's just scenery.

I had a thought. If I read correctly in the Movement of the World, the Southern coast of Kryta was underwater. But since the castle floats, it would be above water. And we have to find a way to get in (good elite area). Also, could the tower possibly have been Lord Odran's tower? and Galrath and Verata want to learn the secret of opening portals to the rift? Fits to me, whadda think?

Not all of the southern coast is underwater. Lion's Arch, which is at the shore, is still there, it's just destroyed. So its more like, Tidel Wave ->Wave reseeds->buildings destroyed. Also, the closest we can get to the tower is on a cliff, so the wave might not even reach that, and if it does, then the tower itself will get hit.
